[comp.protocols.appletalk] Ru-Cap2 for Apollos?

jf@ap.co.umist.ac.uk (John Forrest) (03/14/91)

Has anyone ported RU-CAP2 for apollo's. We've yanked the latest
binaries off rutyers, and it is obvious that it won't go
through quite as it is, although I hope the changes will not be
monumental. I know of, already:

1) The configuration script doesn't work for Apollos [ I wish
the people who write this would use /lib/libc (or is it
/lib/clib, I always forget) if it exists, and save us having to
do these fixes. ]

2) The byte swap info has to be added - obviously the same as
other 68000 machines like Sun's.

However, I'd be grateful from hearing from anyone who has got
it to work on 10.? - especially if there is a patch file out
there somewhere. I suppose if anyone has tried and failed, that
would be useful too.

The problem is that the standard configure checks one library.  The
reason you can't remember is that the correct answer is it needs to
check both.

BTW.  If you find a working version, please let me know.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
